Button Memories

These jars of random, colourful buttons remind me of my grandmother who passed away 13 years ago.  She had a similar collection.

A Thought

Lately I have been living a bit vicariously through one of my best friends, Teri, who is living in Greece for five months. Just LOOK at that amazing photo of her taken in the Larissa region.  I wanted to share it because I think a lot of us – perhaps even yourself – put off doing the things that will make us happy. Because they’re hard to organize, because it’s important to work, because it’s too far off the beaten path – there are many possible reasons.  Teri has reminded me that you only live once. Thanks Terks.

A Beautiful Machine

After getting my Dell stolen in mid-April, I vowed I would take the opportunity to finally make the PC to Mac switch.  Now that we’ve finished the repairs caused by the break-in, and installed a security system, we finally feel OK replacing some things.  My new MacBook Pro will be delivered early next week and I couldn’t be more excited!

Well folks, I’m in the market for some new jewellery. We got robbed yesterday and the thief grabbed my entire collection, among many other things. I had a LOT of jewellery and all I have left now is what I was wearing yesterday.

I love these earrings by A Peace Treaty. In fact the whole line is really pretty. What are your favourite jewellery lines? Any Etsy sellers you’d recommend?

Work/Life Balance

What a clever way to arrange books. Whoever thought up this idea is a smart cookie ’cause the space under sofas is normally wasted. Of course, this is mostly interesting for those with books coming out the wazoo such as yours truly.

Speaking of yours truly, I’m tired! I started a job as an account supervisor at an ad agency a couple of weeks ago. I had forgotten how mentally tiring agency work can get. While it’s fun, it can also turn you into a zombie if you’re not able to disconnect.  Which is what I fully plan on doing this weekend.  Lots of sleep and lots of time with Richy before he heads to Lebanon on Sunday. Probably some blogging, which I’ve been too busy to really do (whoops). And perhaps I’ll delve into one of my many books.

Happy weekend!
